2012 Map of Fish Lake

About this map

Ouachita River meanders through this low-lying floodplain, defining a landscape dominated by intricate water systems and historic river access points. The presence of Brantley Landing, Thirteen Points Landing, and Alabama Lndg indicates a long-standing reliance on the river for transport and commerce. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of secondary water bodies, including the wide expanse of Fish Lake and seasonal drainage features like Elm Slough, Deep Slough, and Hog Wallow Slough. These natural features, alongside named landforms like Potato Patch Ridge and Hog Island, suggest a region shaped by frequent flooding and shifting river channels. The road network, including names such as Indian Mound Rd and Dead Horse Rd, hints at local landmarks and historical sites that predate modern development in this corner of Union Parish.
